So basically it reveals pretty much nothing other than she's having nightmares before the end of Operation Stardust.

It seems this is based on the Japanese Audio Drama "Mayfly of Space" and only an excerpt was animated.

Your better off reading it here for more details

http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Cima_Garahau

Tbh she reminds me of Kycilia where both women showed their villainess aura and had a mystique on it. Was hoping both would reveal more background about them, but it seems Cima died and didn't do much in the series.

At least the wikia showed she actually did something and was heart breaking to see what happened to her in Year One.

Kycilia too didn't do much in 079 and died too early. At least her backstory is slowly being revealed in Gundam Origin.

Ah well at least i'm done with Stardust Memory.

I'm giving this the same score as i gave with the OVA series(8/10) just because i treat this as part of the series as well.

Out of all parts of the drama, why animate this?

The synopsis was better than the episode.

It wasn't bad or anything, but... I learned nothing about her from this. It should have been the intro to an episode in the series before the OP started... or something.

Big disappointment: I wanted to know more and got nothing (before I read the character's informations).

The "nowadays" part lost too much time for the flashback, more of it would have offer more insight.

As it is, it should have been integrated into an OAV (11 or 12 maybe).

3/5 for personal enjoyment but 4/10 is my actual mark.

@WarrFork For the purpose of advertising the (drama)CD. This short animation is a tiny piece of it.

edit: bon voyage dans l'Universal Century. ^^

Hmm it doesn't really have much impact to the continuation of the series, not really worth watching if you ask me as it doesn't add anything more. The synopsis alone is far better :p

The most memorable part of this short special is when Cima's MS picked up a gun and placed its finger on it properly. Trigger safety! Also cool launch pad.

Meh, I never liked Cima in the OVA but this episode was just nightmares before the end of Operation Stardust. Nothing important is revealed about her lol.
